Medusa headpiece and makeup tutorial

[@dnoidk0313]

They should do like makeup series about different urban legend and mythology around the world version

[@samhalfpenny5096]

Omg yes this would be so beautiful of a series.

[@yiyou4661]

agreed. so many cool monsters from these urban legends would be awesome to see

[@amaranth000]

Yeeees great idea!

[@maryjoybersamina8700]

Yes pleasssseeeee.... 😍😍😍

[@martindavegutierrez6842]

Great suggestion 😊👍

[@emmalpannell]

A couple of tips I found helpful. Use black foam sheets versus grey so you dont need to spray paint them and use an old black wig so it won't need spray painting. I also cut the foam piece ends into shape of head or tail of a snake. Incredible headpiece!

[@stephanymayperaza856]

Whew can i get the foam sheets?

[@373nele3]

Thanks for the tips! I also cut down the ends into heads and it looks extra nice

[@videomelanie]

Great tips!

[@handsinknead77]

More tips: add the snake pattern on the foam strips to better blend with the snakes. You could use a stencil which you can also use for your face if you're not good at hand drawing snake pattern.

[@staceysaurusrex2630]

@@handsinknead77 fine fishnet stocking is a great, cheap way to make a scale stencil. Use a sponge or dry brush to dab bronze or gold onto the black foam through the fishnet before cutting it into strips.

I'm really curious what would be your vision of Persephone as she's goddes of spring and queen of the underworld at the same time :)

[@doneachus6780]

One of the most creative, and professional, tutorials and finished makeup I have seen on KZbin. Absolutely fantastic.

[@Cymru613]

I'm recreating this look too for a halloween party. Finishing head piece now but I do find it very heavy and when I fit it on my head the weight slowly pulls it down/off. Any suggestions to help this? Latex to my head? Lol put on straps..but I'm worried ppl will see them.

[@myntharacosplay]

@@Cymru613 I made this to now as well, but I will use Kryolan Mastix glue and glu the wig around my face. I hope its will work.

[@courtneyreeves2377]

I am also doing this look! Miss Elli u have an amazing talent and I’m super inspired by you and All your looks!

[@DEZHAUGH]

I did this head peice and it turned out amazing. Used 3- 10mm foam rolls, ordered from Amazon for the hair and used wood skewers. Now to sew an outfit to go with it.

[@jenniferjamieson2363]

Were the skewers easy and clean to cut?

[@monicabidegain272]

On ur foam rolls which ones? Light or the ones I used a heat gun on??

[@applesullivan168]

Hi, where did you get the snakes?

[@jhallgfx]

did you have a hard time keeping it on your head? without the weight making it slip?

[@kellyherrmann5792]

How long did you make the foam pieces?

Was going to sleep when this pop up. NOPE. SCREW MY SLEEP HOUR. NEED MORE ELLIMACS

Thank you for your realistic assessment! I‘ve seen sooooo many tutorials saying they have the best and easiest costume that don‘t take long and when I watch the Video I notice this will take forever. So thank you for this nice look, good tutorial and the realistic assesment! ❤

[@peterpferdeort6054]

Tip for this project to speed up build time: use an electronics duster compressed air can and turn it upside down, spraying onto the hot glue while affixing the foam to the wig base. Dries the glue in SECONDS rather than having to sit there and hold the foam in place for 5 min. WEAR GLOVES AND GLASSES CUZ IT SPLASHES AND CAN BURN YOU!

[@kahdiaklvr]

I LOVE how none of the questio s asked are answered. Like where can u get the sticks? Whats the latex/ flour ratio? Well apparently you have to guess and make it to the best of your ability.

[@TyeHyun]

Well not everyone has the same stores and they have a video that shows how to make latex paste.

[@kahdiaklvr]

Tye still if you watch the video closely you'll see they do things that aren't mentioned but it is what it is. Also he says the only money spent was on the sticks n snakes. He never mentioned how expensive the foam was. I looked it up and its costly, good thing i improvised. And about the sticks they could at least mention where they got them from. I know theyre not in the US so give us the option to order internationally. Ive watched the vids on the latex paste its still not that great. All ive seen is flour n latex mix but i havnt seen for example 1 cup of latex and 1/2 cup of flour to get the right amount n texture. Anywho i finished mine awhile ago . It came out pretty good so no complaints. It wouldve just been nice to get a response from the actual ppl that post these videos as were the ones watching learning and attempting to make their creations.

[@kassandra9352]

I completely agree. Links to stores, links to other videos, an answer.....it would be great. I've asked a few questions on other sites as well and it seems that no one EVER answers back. It's not like I'm fan girling asking for autographs and merchandise and shit, just simple answers to your tutorial. It is what it is.

[@kahdiaklvr]

@@kassandra9352 Exactly the reality is they really don’t care and they don’t care about answering anybody it’s a matter of how many people click on the video the more clicks the more money they going to make whether they respond or not that’s just how it works
